Summary
In a recent paper Faria and Andrade (1998) present a model of two different representative agents, borrowers and lenders, and investigate conditions such that the borrower’s problem results in a cyclical relationship between capital and loans by applying Hopf bifurcation theory. Nevertheless, the question about the existence of stable cycles is still unresolved. In this note a numerical example leading to stable cycles is presented.
